Buy the dips despite market volatility: Strategist

In This Article:

US stock markets (^GSPC,^IXIC,^DJI) are experiencing a period of heightened volatility, driven by a variety of factors including Hurricane Helene, the upcoming US presidential election, and escalating Middle East tensions. Amid this turbulence, The Wealth Consulting Group's chief market strategist Talley Léger joins Morning Brief to offer insights on navigating investment strategies.

Léger acknowledges that markets have been hit by numerous events that could potentially unsettle investors— questioning "when are they perfectly certain?" However, he notes that such turbulence is a common occurrence in financial markets, adding that "through it all, the stock market has continued its inexorable march forward." Due to this dynamic, Léger advises investors to view market dips as potential buying opportunities.

In light of the current market weakness, Léger recommends investors focus on domestic value cyclicals. Specifically, he points to sectors such as financials, industrials, and materials as areas that could offer good entry points.
